In the beginning , Plastiki is a boat made from a plastic bottles. ThePlastiki is considered a catamaran that is made of 12,500 reclaimed plastic bottles in order to recycled PET plastic and waste. Regarding the building of this raft, it was built from using cradle to cradle design philosophies where accordingly,it features more renewable energy systems,containing wind, solar panels , bicycle generators. And the construction,Andrew Dovell designed the frame raft who was an Australian naval architect. The first usage of the boat was by Kon-Tiki during 1947 where his raft used to sail across the Pacific and the Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl helped him.

Plastiki Journey The journey of plastiki started by David de Rothschild and side by side with some experts, scientists, and creative that will sail about 12,000 sea miles in the Pacific Ocean where it will starts in San Francisco to Sydney in a boat that was formed out of plastic bottles and also recycled waste products.Accordingly, they called this voyage the name of “ Plastiki” (Plastiki Journey) Regarding the journey and the route that plastiki followed conbtained its traveling across the Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch, that is regarded an extensive area where it is full of plastic in the deep North Pacific Ocean.There is a huge amount of plastic trash gathered in this area and Plastiki’s role is to those who are concerned with nature and environment and activists aware of the problem.

Conclusion
In all the team through this journey of Plastiki aimed at exploring the fact and upon that attracting the attention of others who give more concern to environmental issue to the problems that oceans and seas face owing to trash and plastics. Besides attracting scientists to the importance of the environment and to be smart with wastes for having a great environment.Besides and through creating Plastiki, they wanted to attract people’s attention through being interested in wastes and consider it as valuable resources..(Plastiki Journey) References :
